I don't discuss football with retards who use meaningless "advanced" statistics.

Lazy post followed by a lazy post. Come on, explain for everyone how KC's offense is better? When you look at yards per game Seattle was better. KC had slightly more passing yards, Seattle had more rushing yards. Points scored KC had a very small edge. But you have to look beyond those stats at the advanced metrics which suggest that Seattle's O was considerably more efficient. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it wrong. Believe me, Brian Burke is a very well respected statistician and I think most people are going to take his word over yours.

You could always just try to keep him in the pocket and force him to beat you with his arm. It will be interesting to see what Fox and JDR come up with, and see how they attack him and that offense.

I feel like it'll be similar with what they did when we played the Raiders and Pryor. People were wondering why we were getting any pressure when it was clear, at least to me, that we were playing contain on obvious passing downs forcing him to beat us with his arm.

Have you actually watched both teams play last few months? If you had and knew anything about football you would know that KC's offense is much better right now. Seattle's offense steadily declined over the past few months and KC's offense steadily improved over the same time frame. But keep referencing "advanced statistics" all you want. Talk about lazy posts...

I have to agree with this. Seattle's O has been average at best the past month and change.

Yep. Bills were 10 point favorites. Giants held the ball for 40 minutes. I lost a lot of money on that game. If that game were held today, they'd be flagging the G defense for hits on defenseless receivers and holding on every play....a bit of an exaggeration, I know.

You called my post nonsense but have brought nothing of any substance to the table to back up your contrary opinion. Statistics support my view, your casual observations support yours. Next time I would suggest you say you disagree and state why rather than using an ad hominem.

Seattle does exactly what I'd do if I had their defense. Their offense needs to consume time, avoid turnovers and get lucky 2-3 times per game. They've a strong chance to win, even against us, with no more than that. With the time-consuming aspect manifest in Lynch's brawny rushing style, our front seven really have no choice but to get sucked into defending it. Wilson is quick enough to get outside and, as has been noted, cool enough to keep his eyes looking for one of those lucky shots downfield. We all know what those bootlegs look like from the Shanahan days, except this is Plummer with a very tough defense. And a wife who isn't as attractive.

I think our defensive front is playing with a lot of confidence at the moment, and will be a match for the Seahawks rushing attack. That's remarkable considering the injuries this year, and a testament to JDR's acumen everywhere other than the 8:00 mark in the fourth quarter. Wilson will have to try to make some plays, because their defense should be pressured like they never have been before. This isn't an unusual predicament for Seattle, as they've pretty much relied on that formula all year long and it's obviously gotten them to the Big Dance. I dunno how you mitigate the damage Wilson does outside the pocket those 2-3 plays per game. Does the Pot Roast get too hot for an underwhelming Seattle O-Line to handle? If a dominant performance up front affords the Broncos a spy (I think Trevathan is an excellent suggestion) on Russell, that'd be huge. Otherwise, a performance for the ages from someone in the Denver secondary (Champ?) would have to materialize some way, somehow.

Though our regular season defense was #19 overall, we're closer in YPG to #5 San Francisco than San Francisco is to #1 Seattle. And our rush defense is actually tied with Seattle for seventh-best in the league. Both the Whaleginas and the Cheaters have superior offenses IMO, offenses which Denver handled admirably, and I think Seattle will have more difficulty moving the ball than they think.

My money would be on the Denver offense putting up what they have all postseason, which is about 24 points. That's on a balmy, dry (so it doesn't ruin your spray tan) 39 degree evening in New Joisey. Seattle's opponents this season are a roll-call of the league's bottom-feeding offenses: Jags (#32), Texans (#31), Bucs (#30), Giants (#28), Rams (#21), Falcons (#20), Titans (#19), Panthers (#18) and Cards (#16). With them playing both the Rams and Cardinals twice, that's a significant portion of their schedule against opponents who might take three full seasons to throw 55 TDs. Denver's is much more top-heavy with them playing four of the top six offenses in the league in NE (#3), Philly (#4), Dallas (#5) and Queefs (#6). Of course, the direction of causality is debatable: Are Seattle's opponents terrible on offense because they played Seattle's great defense? Or is it the other way around?

Whatever the case, the contours of this matchup suggest to me an underrated Denver defense and an offense unlike what the Seahags have ever seen before. I think they pressure Wilson into some blunders and Champ Bailey plays a helluva game in his first Super Bowl.

Ok, well why aren't they then? I didn't say that the Broncos shouldn't take Seattle seriously, but I do think Denver has played a similar style of opposition in KC.

I agree.. I don't think either team is underestimating anything. But its funny to me to hear how the the Broncos haven't played a defense as good as the Seahawks... ah, excuse me, I thought the Chiefs Defense was the best in the league at one time. Didn't the Broncos sweep them this year ?

The Broncos will just go with a up tempo offense, and not allow the Seattle to substitute which is what the defense does, cause they have depth.

Seattle's front 7 will keep trying to rush Manning, and he will shred them, dink and dunk up the field all day.

The Broncos showed they can run 7 minute drives and eat up the clock, they just need to finish and score TDs.

Statistics only support your view when you remove the context and use season stats rather than actually looking at recent games. Why is it that all your takes are based on stats anyway? Is it because you can't watch games and form actual opinions using your own eyes?

After listening to some of the preliminary Super Bowl chatter, the one universal theme from the media is that Seattle should beat the Broncos because great defense ALWAYS trumps great offense. (Setting aside that the Seahawks do have the best scoring defense in the league,verses our offense which is the greatest scoring offense in the HISTORY of the league) Why is it, I feel like I've already heard this cliché at noisome already this season? Is this comparison valid? Because in my humble opinion both teams seem built very similar with low-scoring, run-first offenses, and opportunistic defenses.

Yep I think they are a way better version of kFc but built sort of the same way. They have only one weapon on O and he is at RB, the QB is streaky and not accurate down field (but better than Smith). Seahawks pass rush is just a notch under kFc's (kFc's pass rush is OVERRATED) but their back 7 is the strength of the team.

I like Denver being able to stop the run and as long as our CB's don't go down I think we can cover their passing game.

If Manning has time to throw and we can run enough to keep them honest we got this.

The Broncos better take them very seriously because they promise to be a highly motivated opponent.

You're right, I can't believe these same people being negative Nancies when we played SD, and NE now getting all cocky and ****.
About some little respect to our opponents so we don't get crushed and beaten for being over confident?

Lol! So, using your logic, the Broncos offense also isn't very good because it's scored under its regular season average in 5 straight games now, right?!?

And what about KC's offense has you so impressed? Is it because they put up all those points in that weird playoff game against Indy when neither team could stop the other and Indy's DB's were limping around the field? Or is the big numbers they put up against awful Oakland and Washington teams late in the season that had clearly quit? Are those the games that have you so convinced that KC's offense is better than Seattle's?

Look, I'm not crowning Seattle's offense. Offense isn't their strength. But it's certainly not a stretch to say their O is better than KC's. At worst their O is about on par with KC's. Which would mean, in other words, that an opinion that Seattle's offense is better isn't "nonsense". And that you should come up with something to back up an opinion that it is or move on.

No, because unlike you I'm not a football retard. Our offense has been dominant in both games, only punting once and controlling the clock by a massive margin. An unlucky interception in the endzone, a few missed plays, and starting deep in our end on nearly every possession is the only reason we haven't scored more. Meanwhile the Seahawks offense has been sub-par for two solid months, struggling to sustain drives or score points without the help of turnovers. That you don't get that Alex Smith and the KC offense has been much more prolific over the second half of the season is completely laughable.

So, the guy who voted to keep Tebow over Manning is calling someone else a "football retard"?!? Lol! Good stuff as always, Ag. Keep 'em coming! I love me some unintentional comedy. And please, some more of your anecdotal football wisdom! I want some more stories about this dominant KC offense! Lol!
